Chapter 40 040. I won’t trust Uchiha

The periphery of the root base.

After hearing the footsteps behind him, Danzo turned to look at Shisui, as if he had been waiting for a long time: "Shisui, you are finally here. I thought you wouldn't come."

Shisui had some unpredictable thoughts about Danzo, lowered his head and said, "Master Danzo, are you looking for me about the coup? I'm going to attend the clan meeting soon."

Danzo asked: "Are you going to use the pupil technique to control Uchiha Fugaku and prevent the coup from happening?"

Shisui glanced at Danzo and nodded: "As long as Captain Fugaku is controlled, Uchiha will stop thinking about launching a coup. This is also the best way I can think of to stop the coup."

Hearing this, Danzo sneered in his heart and questioned unceremoniously:

"Controlling Uchiha Fugaku can indeed delay the rebellion of Uchiha, but it is only a delay. As time goes by, there will be people in Uchiha who are unsatisfied with the status quo and launch a rebellion against the village."

Shisui frowned: "I believe that under the leadership of Lord Hokage, the clan can make changes and eventually integrate with the village. Lord Danzo is too suspicious."

"Suspicious?" Danzo snorted and said, "I do have more to consider than the Third Generation and others. They always place their hopes for peace on others, but I will take the initiative to create peace for the village."

Shisui pretended not to hear Danzo's comments to the other senior officials, and said impatiently: "If Danzo-sama just wants to tell me this, please allow me to leave. I still have to stop the clan's coup."

Danzo stopped in front of Shisui and said in a deep voice: "You always expect Uchiha to integrate into the village, but have you ever thought that people like me will never believe in Uchiha."

Shisui's face looked a little ugly, but he couldn't speak rudely to Danzo, so he left with a cold face.

At this moment, Danzo rose up in vain and aimed his hand at Shisui's eyes. The target was the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shisui, who had been prepared for a long time, glanced at Danzo and directly used genjutsu to subdue him.

Looking at Danzo controlled by the genjutsu, Shisui sighed softly: "Lord Danzo, I know you want to stop me, but no one can stop me from protecting the village and Uchiha."

"But don't worry, this is just an ordinary illusion. I won't kill you and bring new hatred to you."

After saying that, Shisui left the root base and prepared to go back to participate in the Uchiha clan meeting.

Suddenly, Danzo, who was controlled by the genjutsu, disappeared. He jumped in front of Shisui, struck him with lightning speed, and directly took away Shisui's right eye.

After reacting, Shisui quickly distanced himself, covered the bleeding wound, and looked at Danzo in shock.

He guessed that Danzo would take action, but he didn't understand how Danzo could get rid of the Sharingan genjutsu, which was his strength.

At this time, Danzo took off his blindfold, and after seeing the loss of the three Magatama Sharingan eyes, Shisui understood everything.

Danzo used the Izanagi Technique to rewrite the reality controlled by his own illusions, but when did Danzo possess the Sharingan and learn Izanagi.

Could it be that Danzo secretly collected Uchiha's Sharingan!

The more he thought about it, the more Shisui became afraid, and his heart was filled with fear of Danzo.

After Danzo succeeded, he did not launch another attack. Instead, he looked at Shisui expressionlessly and said gloomily:

"Give up your struggle, Shisui, and hand over the other Mangekyō Sharingan. I will make this pair of eyes realize its value."

Hearing this, Shisui completely gave up his fantasy, and shouted in a low voice: "Fire Release: The Art of Fireball!"

The fire escape that was sprayed into the air had just taken shape when a group of root ninjas jumped out and jointly performed the water escape.

Seeing this scene, Shisui understood that Danzo had more arrangements than he imagined, and quickly used the water vapor generated by the high temperature to escape using the teleportation technique.

With both eyes intact, he might be able to fight against the roots, but with one missing eye, he could not be an opponent.

Once Danzo gets a pair of kaleidoscopes, not only himself, but also the clan and the Hokage will be threatened, so he must escape.

Looking at Shisui's back, Danzo's face looked a little ugly.

Although he had overestimated Shisui's strength as much as possible, he still escaped when surrounded by himself and his roots. The opponent was stronger than he imagined.

To pursue or not to pursue? Danzo hesitated a little, and finally let the root go in pursuit.

If the root pursuit fails, you will lose at most one Mangekyō Sharingan. If you pursue it yourself, you will bear the risk of being controlled by other gods.

In the forest, the fleeing Shisui was quickly caught up by the Root Ninja.

Facing these elite ninjas, Shisui gradually fell into a disadvantage. When he was about to be hit by the ninjutsu, he forcibly activated the ninjutsu 'Susanohu'.

After consuming most of the chakra in his body, an emerald green half-length Susan appeared in the forest.

While blocking all the attacks, he repelled all the pursuing root ninjas. Then Shisui, regardless of chakra consumption, forcibly performed 'Susanohu Ninety-nine'.

As the chakra arrows condensed, Shisui opened Susanoo.

Countless chakra arrows fell all around like raindrops. Wherever they touched, whether it was big trees, rocks or flesh and blood, they were pierced by the arrows and turned into sieves.

Use the Sharingan to look around and confirm that there are no living roots around.

Panting, Shisui lifted Susanoo and ran towards the depths of the forest with difficulty. At this moment, both his physical strength and chakra consumption were close to the limit, and he could only barely support himself in running.

After finding a safe place, Shisui began to check his injuries and analyze the situation.

His current injuries will take at least a month to recover. There is no way he can stop the clan from launching a coup. Going to the Uchiha clan in his current appearance will only make the clan's thoughts of a coup more intense, which will have the opposite effect.

But if they sit idly by and ignore the situation, if a conflict breaks out between the clan and the higher-ups, both sides will suffer.

After thinking for a moment, Shisui had already made a decision. After simply bandaging his wounds, he rushed towards the cliff where he often met Itachi.

It is true that he cannot prevent the coup while alive, but that may not be the case if he is dead.

Losing his clan's strongest combat power can also dampen the morale and enthusiasm of his clan. However, before dying, he must entrust his remaining eyes and ideals to his close friends.

Thinking of this, Shisui began to write a suicide note. After writing it, he put it away and put it in the middle of his clothes.

Just when Zhisui was about to leave, he spotted a figure with his back to him on the big tree in front of him. The figure looked back at him and stretched out his hand to signal him to follow.

Who is the other party? Shisui narrowed his eyes slightly, but quickly dismissed his doubts.

The other party's jumping and moving skills were exactly the same as those of his best friend. It must be Itachi. He also made an appointment to meet Itachi.
